My point was to contrast infinite (of an endless amount of time) with eternal (outside of time). Infinite is what most people think of when they hear eternal, but the sacrifice of Christ is not of an infinite duration.
Infinite doesn't refer to time at all. It simply means not measurable or outside measurable limits. You can use it to refer to a measure of time, but time is a human construct.
The Atonement is infinite by time and volume.
